I’m happy to report that we are in peak foliage here in Western Massachusetts. While there’s still some small patches of greenery left over from the Summer, the trees are bursting with reds, yellows, golds and oranges- and it’s making my early morning commute into my office all the more breathtaking and beautiful as I […]
Although Spring has Sprung and we’ve officially made it through Easter- there’s still a chill in the air here in New England.
